PM Chinh, who is also head of the Government Steering Committee for the review of the resolution implementation, lauded both ministries for their serious and prompt efforts in organisational restructuring, urging them to work closely with the Ministry of Home Affairs to quickly collect feedback, finalise the first-phase report to submit it to relevant authorities, and continue working on the next steps of the restructuring process.
Calling for a thorough review and restructuring of units and agencies, he stressed the need to align with the conclusions, guidelines, and orientations set by the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Central Steering Committee for the review of the resolution implementation.

Efforts should also be made to accelerate digital transformation, strengthen data infrastructure, and study and develop artificial intelligence for dual-use purposes.
